Thou Shall Not Make Fun

Ok. So I was at my Sumba class this morning ready to bust a move and lose the remaining 5 lbs left from my pregnancy. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done, not only is it the greatest cardio workout, but it’s also tons of fun – exercising to reggaeton - it can’t get any better than that!

The music started and the dancing begun. There were tons of women in the class, so space seemed a little tight. As we began to wave our hands in the air left to right, I tried to be considerate of the people around me and to make sure I didn’t swat anyone in the head.

So…we’re dancing….'izquierda, derecha, baile baile…..'

Just then, I could’ve sworn I felt a tap on my right hand from the lady next to me. So, I breathlessly turned my head to say excuse me and move over. That’s when it happened – that’s when I finally noticed - the lady had NO ARM.


I was mortified. Not because I was exercising next to an amputee, but because I was SURE I felt someone’s had tap mine. In any case, I needed a drink…..so, feeling a bit light headed, and taken aback, I leaned over to grab my water - and sure enough, my bottle was sitting RIGHT NEXT to a PLASTIC ARM.




I came home and was telling Asuzena my story. I couldn’t help but laugh about my weird experience. Yes FOLKS I know - How could I laugh? But c’mon, it was funny. Anyways, as I was telling her what happened, and admitting to HOW BAD IT WAS THAT I WAS LAUGHING, we LOST POWER in the house, no electricity, I KID YOU NOT! I guess the big guy upstairs tried to teach me a lesson?

I was robbed of electricity...it was ARMED robbery!
I’m dying...LAUGHING...

(I’m so gonna get struck by lightening tonight, I swear)
